• Some users directional scanner will not open properly, clearing settings will resolve the issue
• Ordering of highlighted brackets in the d-scan cone can cause brackets in the scan cone to not be highlighed

• When moving system with right click, the system moves slowly. I think it should be stuck to the mouse as these kind of thigns always are (same for rotating the camera). Of course for double click or other not directly player controlled movements animation is good.
• F9 doesn't remember opened probe window or d.-scan
• If signature and probe moving arrow are on top of each other both will receive click/drag events
• Tooltip for analyze says that you need probes to be able to (presume this is tooltip for the launch action)
• If probes are analyzing alt+scroll makes zoom action (I think it should ignore the command)
• alt+scroll works the wrong way around. Scroll wheel direction that moves system away from the camera (smaller etc) makes probe radius bigger (I think it should make them smaller) (Also, this works now differently to how it does on TQ currently)
• same for ctrl+scroll, it works to different direction than on TQ
• I think thre could be option to disable the circle around objects that are in d-scan range. It's handy feature, but might sometimes add too much to the view (compare to options about what objects to show on the map at all)
• EBR-112919: I could probe down mobile depot with sisters core probes (but not ships)
• Button to set your probes in middle of the sun (if you took them accidentally out of system)

• I like the symbols in direction and probe scanners. At least in d-scan it makes way faster to notice different ships. Also 8 Scanner Probe named "Probe" ships doesn't fool so easily.
• Scan progress when shown only to the selected is create!
• Line between two possible results is amazing (though system could automatically filter the another one out. Don't know what ancient program my future space ship is using as it can't make this super simple task.

Soo.. are we supposed to have the 'Try the new map' option checked or unchecked to test this out?

As it stands it's only loading the really old scanning UI and I can't seem to find a way to open the new one regardless of that option being checked or not.

Looking forward to testing this out!

edit - it's working now!! omg this is awesome

Alrighty so a couple things off the bat now it works:-

• ALT+SCROLLWHEEL to adjust the probe scan radius is reversed of that on TQ. confusing the hell outta me.
• where is the clickable button to open the system map? F9 is great and all, but clicking is fast if you're trying to tab in and out of fullscreen fast
• placing the probe controls at the bottom of the Probe Scanner window (likewise, placing the Directional Scan button wayyyy at the bottom of the window massively increases mouse travel across the screen to click it when tabbing between Probe/Directional windows (yes a bit old school to have them in the same frame)
• can we get the appearance of bookmark pins to stack with each other a bit less easily?
• pressing 'C' to Directional Scan a location on the system scanner works for most icons but not bookmarks, whereas holding down left-click on a bookmark let's you aim the Directional Scan at it

loving it so far though

• I'm experiencing the same random FPS drops during scanning that keep happening on TQ. I'll be by myself in a system with nothing else running in the background and sound turned off, FPS will randomly drop to single digits in the solar system window with probes deployed.
• I miss the button to open the solar system window from the probe scanner window.
• The central arrow of a probe formation twitches wildly when moving the other arrows near it by Ctrl + dragging.
• I bound the Refresh Probes command to a Ctrl + key shortcut and this happens when I press it: http://imgur.com/a/7hIzk

• Double clicking on a sig/anom in the scanner moves the camera there, but the animation could be a little faster without looking weird, I think. Scanning as quickly as possible is often key. More importantly, while regular camera control is affected by the 'stiffness' setting, the automatic movement isn't, and that feels a bit incongruent.
• Losing control of camera rotation while it's moving to a new position also doesn't quite feel right.
• Seeing as d-scanning is instant, I'm not sure what the purpose is of the green fade? Feels like there should be a less obtrusive way of showing 'yes you d-scanned'. Maybe this is a personal preference thing, but it looks a bit odd to me.
• If I detach both d-scan and the probe scanner from the map, how am I supposed to bring the map up again? The way I currently do it is to dock either window - bringing the map up again - then undock them to keep the separate map. Maybe I'm just being clueless but I don't see a different way to do it right now. Undocking these windows should probably add a "show map" button somewhere.

• Please let us get rid of the default overview settings in the directional scanner. Being able to bind personal overviews to the first bunch of shortcuts would be awesome. Now my first personal setting gets bound to Ctrl-9 and that's not exactly a convenient keybind.
• Can't call this an actual problem since it depends on window positioning, but I really don't like the d-scan settings being partly on the bottom right now. I would love for these to be moved back up to the filters - there's not really any reason for them to be this far apart - or at least to have a setting to either have both on the bottom or the top.

• Fullscreen mode is still a fake fullscreen mode. On the old map it is truly fullscreen. Doesn't make much difference visually (though you can notice the space view outside the map window) but it's probably more resource-intensive.


• Why not make the map background full color instead of 90% transparent. Again probably resource-intensive.


• Why remove the map button on the probe scanner window ? Now have to make 2 clicks instead of 1 to open/close the map.


• Why remove the way you click on the edge of the probes to resize them ? It works perfectly fine on the old map. Now you're forcing me to use the keyboard shortcuts because using the slider is too inefficient.


• Why change the buttons' position to the bottom ? Makes mouse movement longer. You really want me to use the keyboard, don't you.


• Animations are useless and make the scanning process slower.


• The glowing effect on the D-scan window is useless and alters visibility.

• There needs to be a button that opens/closes the scanning map on the Probe Scanner window, like there is currently. A keyboard shortcut is good, but shouldn't be primary and the option by the capacitor is generally awkward and not as fast
